scanCONTROL 2900: sensors and measurement devices by Micro-Epsilon for measurement & 3d systems.
Measurement solutions for Distance
How to choose a displacement technology
Displacement is the most crowded category in measurement, and the right sensor is decided by the target material and the environment far more than by accuracy. This is how the five technologies we supply really differ, and where each of them stops working.
Applications
-
3D component scan before laser cladding
With laser cladding, the component surface is melted by a laser beam and joined to form a new, pore-free layer by the addition of a powdered filler material. Prior to laser processing, the components are scanned with a scanCONTROL laser…
-
Crane-boom extension and position monitoring
Monitor boom length and position to calculate load torque and help prevent collisions. A wireSENSOR WPS-K100 draw-wire sensor measures extension; a customer-supplied encoder can evaluate the signal. Depending on variant and customer…

Laser triangulation
The general choice: fast, accurate and cost-effective on most opaque surfaces.
-
Measurements on the foundations of wind turbines
To detect tower movements of wind turbines, several laser triangulation sensors measure the distance from the base ring to the foundation. Due to the high measuring rate and accuracy, changes are reliably detected. If the permissible limit…
-
Measuring the foundation movement
Laser triangulation sensors measure the distance from the foundation in order to detect the tower movements. High measuring rates enable to detect vibrations directly. Depending on the number of sensors installed, detailed evaluations about…
-
Measuring the spindle runout
In high-frequency spindles, the accurate concentricity or shaft runout of the tool play a decisive role. Non-contact, inductive displacement sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used for monitoring of concentricity or shaft runout. Based on the…
-
Measuring the wear of high-speed railway lines
In order to detect the wear on high-speed railway lines, special measurement wagons inspect the tracks. The measurement wagon contains two optoNCDT 1900 laser displacement sensors. These measure the distance to the track at a high measuring…
-
Monitoring of facade positions during construction measures
optoNCDT ILR3800 laser sensors are used for distance measurements of listed facades. These sensors provide high measurement accuracy even on weakly reflective surfaces such as masonry. Due to their large measuring range, they measure the…
-
Monitoring the deflection of concrete ceilings
Laser sensors from Micro-Epsilon are used to measure the deflection of concrete slabs during casting. Depending on the accuracy requirements and measuring range, laser triangulation sensors or laser distance sensors are used. These sensors…
-
Monitoring the lathe
When turning the wheel tires, laser triangulation sensors monitor the distance to the rotating wheel tire. This means that the ablation is detected with high precision. High-performance sensors detect the dimensional accuracy of the wheel…
-
Nacelle movements
The changes in distance between the nacelle and the ground are used to monitor tower swayings. For this purpose, optoNCDT ILR3800 laser distance sensors are mounted in the nacelle and measure down to the ground. Their high signal stability…
-
Online bearing-gap monitoring in wind turbines
Measure bearing gaps while the wind turbine is operating, avoiding inspection stoppages required by tactile measurement. An eddyNCDT 3005 eddy-current measuring system measures the gap; the sensor is permanently connected to its controller…
-
Planarity inspection of rails
optoCONTROL laser micrometers are used to selectively check railway tracks for flatness and deflection. These are integrated in a test trolley and detect the track at three points with high accuracy, regardless of the condition of the track…
-
Precise measurement of the axial roll runout
In order to enable the guide or coating rolls to operate at the highest precision, the axial roll runout is continuously measured. Eddy current displacement sensors detect the axial movement of the roll by determining the distance to the…
-
Print head positioning in laser transfer printers
With printing and exposure processes, the exact height of the print head or the distance from the object to be printed are crucial factors for the quality of the final product. Fast distance measurements with compact laser sensors from…
-
Weld seam inspection on pipes
A perfect weld seam is essential in a leak tight pipe. scanCONTROL laser scanners are therefore used during spiral welding to align the weld flanks. This results in a much more reliable welding process. The long base distance of 600mm and…
-
Confocal chromatic
For glass, mirrors and clear films, where triangulation finds no spot to read.
-
Eddy current
For measuring through oil and dirt, inside bearings, gearboxes and hydraulics.
-
Capacitive
Sub-nanometre resolution in vacuum and cleanroom, on conductive targets at short range.
-
Ultrasonic and inductive
Where robustness and cost matter more than resolution.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to the most common questions about our products and services
Usually five to ten working days from when your samples reach our lab. You get a written report with the measured results and a recommended configuration.
Both. We can supply the instrument alone, or install, align, configure and prove it on your line with a measurement capability test before handover.
